The GO Bond Executive Committee has sent its recommendations to the Phoenix City Council on how to spend a planned $500 million GO Bond Program for 2023.
In a release by the City of Phoenix, Executive Committee Chair Sharon Harper gave a summary of allocations per subcommittee and a list of recommended projects and programs to be completed under the bond program.
“It was an honor to serve as chair of the GO Bond Executive Committee." Harper wrote the board. “I would like to thank my fellow committee members for their time and commitment to the process. I believe our recommendations reflect the highest priority needs of the city and will benefit all members of the community."
Voters will make the final decision on the allotments in a special election in November if the council approves the proposal, the release said.
The Executive Committee's recommendations include the following: $50,385,000 to Arts & Culture; $38 million to Economic Development & Education; $26 million to Environment & Sustainability; $63 million to Housing, Human Services & Homelessness; $44,615,000 to Neighborhoods & City Services; $64 million to Parks & Recreation; $132,500,000 to Public Safety; and 81,500,000 to Streets & Storm Drainage.
The Executive Committee plans to deliver its official recommendations to the city during the council's Dec. 13 meeting, the release said.
